Replacing the batteries

The display will indicate Lo when the batteries are running low. Please replace the batteries as soon as possible. You must turn off the power switch before replacing the batteries. The included batteries are provided so that you can verify that the unit operates correctly, and may have a shorter lifespan than expected. Use only alkaline batteries. If the batteries become unusable, remove them immediately. You should also remove the batteries if you won't be using the unit for an extended time. 1. On the bottom panel, slide the battery case cover in the direction of the arrow to open it. 2. Install four AA batteries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted in the correct polarity (+, -). 3. Close the battery case cover.

Choose the dir setting if you are connecting an instrument or audio device directly to the miniKP (as in the diagram above). Choose the snd setting if the mini-KP will be connected to the effect send and return jacks of your mixer or other device. To return to the normal play mode, once again hold down the MEMORY A button and press the B button. The mini-KP will also return to the normal play mode (program selection state) after about three seconds if no additional setting operations are performed. This setting will be remembered even when the power is turned off.

About the input level

The PEAK indicator will light red if the input signal level is too high. In this case, reduce the output volume of the device that's connected to the mini-KP. Use the VOLUME knob on the front to adjust the headphone volume.

Operation

Operating the touch pad
You can control the sound by rubbing or tapping your finger on the touch pad. Each axis (X, Y) will provide realtime control of a different effect parameter.
If you press the HOLD button while your finger is on the touch pad, you can take your finger away and the effect will continue to play as if your finger was still on the touch pad, and at the same location as when you pressed the HOLD button.
Storing the current settings to a MEMORY button
Select the program that you want to store, and adjust the effect depth. If you want to store the Hold state, press the HOLD button to turn it on. The position at which you last touched the pad will be stored as the held position on the touch pad. Hold down one of the MEMORY buttons (A or B) and press the HOLD button; the current settings will be stored to that MEMORY button.
Selecting an effect program
Turn the PROG/VALUE knob to select an effect program 0099.

FX RELEASE setting

Hold down the MEMORY B button and press the TAP button, and then use the PROG/VALUE knob to select r.On (FX Release On) or r.OF (FX Release Off).

Setting the BPM

When you press the TAP button, the current BPM setting will be displayed. Hit the TAP button several times in tempo with your song, and the mini-KP will detect the corresponding BPM value and use it as the current setting. While the BPM value is displayed, you can also adjust the BPM value by turning the PROG/VALUE knob. If you hold down the TAP button for an extended time, the mini-KP will switch from the BPM setting back to program selection. The mini-KP will also return to the program selection state if you havent performed any setting operation for five seconds.
To return to the normal play mode, once again hold down the MEMORY B button and press the TAP button. The mini-KP will also return to the normal play mode (program selection state) after about three seconds if no additional setting operations are performed. This setting will be remembered even when the power is turned off.

What is FX RELEASE?

With FX RELEASE, the moment you take your hand off the touch pad, a delay effect synchronized to the current BPM will be applied, and will then gradually diminish. This allows you to make smoother transitions and avoid the abrupt change from a hard-edge effect back to the original and unaffected signal.
Restoring the factory settings
Hold down the TAP button and the MEMORY A button as you turn on the power; all settings will return to their factory-set state.
